D3FOOTBALL.COM TEAM OF THE WEEK RELEASE
BREVARD, N.C. – Brevard College sophomore defensive back Joc Pledger earned national accolades, as D3Football.com named the Monroe, Georgia native as a selection to its first Division III Team of the Week of the Spring 2021 season.
Pledger had a huge afternoon for the Tornados in helping keep the Hawks in check on Febuary 20. He came up with nine total tackles, three of them tackles for loss, as well as a forced fumble and a pass breakup in a game Huntingdon won 26-18. His pass breakup in the red zone forced Huntingdon to settle for a field goal in the first quarter, and his forced fumble came shortly after Brevard cut the deficit to 11 in the fourth quarter, giving the offense the ball on the Huntingdon 15-yard-line.
The sophomore becomes BC's sixth national weekly honoree in the last four years for the Tornado football program.
